Self Love….<br />
is it another<br />
Buzz word?<br />
Written by: Keri Norley<br />
SELF LOVE… Is it another “BUZZ” word?<br />
Is it a load of rubbish? Do you reach<br />
the holy grail? I mean for real… is it all<br />
it’s cracked up to be?<br />
This concept of self-love is everywhere these<br />
days. And lots of people are preaching it. The<br />
question is… do they believe it to truly be possible?<br />
Do you believe it? Have you ever experienced<br />
it?<br />
So what is it? Self- love?<br />
It is not love driven by ego.<br />
It is awareness of self. It is love for all parts<br />
of self… the beautiful and the ugly. It’s awareness<br />
that you are capable of the worst and also<br />
the best… and still loving you. It’s loving your<br />
body, no matter the size. It’s looking after and<br />
nurturing all levels of yourself… mind, body and<br />
spirit…<br />
In my opinion… self-love is not a “buzz”<br />
word... but it can be… if you take it for it’s superficial<br />
experience. Saying you love yourself<br />
doesn’t make it the end of the journey. Generally<br />
speaking… it’s only the beginning. For many<br />
of you reading this, even doing that will bring<br />
tears to your eyes… if you look yourself in the<br />
eyes, in your soul and say it and truly mean it…<br />
So what are 5 crucial pieces that are an<br />
absolute must in order to fall in love with<br />
yourself… deeper and deeper in love?<br />
1. Be willing to spend time with yourself<br />
2. Have people around you to hold you to a<br />
higher standard. Fire the rest.<br />
3. Look at your mindset, the stories you are<br />
telling yourself, the stories that others<br />
told you and you believed… are they<br />
true? What do you want to think instead<br />
and STICK WITH IT.<br />
4. Be courageous. Have the deep conversations<br />
with people when it scares you.<br />
Be willing to go ALL IN to living an aligned<br />
life. Don’t go halfway.<br />
5. Forgiveness. Forgive yourself first. Forgive<br />
others who you feel have hurt you.<br />
Realise… your responsibility in the situation.<br />
Forgive yourself again.<br />
REPEAT.<br />
